Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as wanted to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any issues are handled as swiftly and safely as possible.
